Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo Review

Upon hearing multiple people rave about these, I decided to pick one up when I was at a makeup sale. I got the colour 'Seashore Frosts' (which I believe is a limited edition), as I was drawn to the gorgeous mermaid-ish duochrome.

Honestly, the colour is incredible. It is super hard to explain but to me it looks like something a mermaid would wear haha. It looks sort of grey/green in the pot but shimmers silver/purple/blue. It's stunning.

I love the packaging of these as I really like being able to see the colour of the product. It makes it super easy to spot. Also the packaging is really functional and durable - I feel totally sweet about taking this traveling with me.

In terms of the consistency it's a really nice cream shadow. I find it easiest to apply with my fingertips and you can build the colour up easily by layering the product.

Even without primer this didn't crease on me but it did tend to fade a little by the end of the day. With primer, however, this stuff did not budge one bit! It still looked gorgeous by the end of the day.

The pigmentation is amazing - the colours shine through with even just one swipe and I love that you can use this as a base or on its own. Personally I like using this by itself as the colour is incredible.

Because you don't need a lot to get decent colour payoff, I imagine this will last me a long, long time. I didn't pay the full price for this but I definitely think that the price is good for what you're getting - and I would happily pay the full price for this.

If you haven't tried these - do it now! I am on the hunt to get more, I was so impressed by this.

I seem to have a "thing" for eyeshadows there is just something about all the sparkly colours and getting creative with different colours. Don't even start me on the different types. From the traditional palette style, loose eyeshadows, crayon style and this creamy solid type. Sometimes there are just far too many choices.... Oh who am I kidding we need choices!

So I picked this up in the colour 35 tough as taupe. It comes in a solid glass jar. The colour is a cross between a grey and a purple. I love these colours as well as trusty Browns.

The texture of this is very very creamy, I use a brush to apply it and it goes on seamlessly and it doesn't crease. There is no fall out like you can get with some eyeshadows. There is a wee bit of a scent to it a bit like cocoa butter it's not off putting and it does fade quickly once applied.

This stays put all day. It does say 24hours but I haven't left it on for 24 hours because that would probably mean going to bed with makeup on and that isn't ideal and I'm not exactly a party all night and into the next day kind of gal anymore but I would say a good 8-10 hours depending on how crazy my day has been.

This is also a really good base. Apply it and then apply a loose powder over top to make them last longer.

I will definitely be adding more colours to my collection I find this so versatile and an all round good product.

Love the color tattoo Eyeshadow range! I have nearly every colour and love them all. I find these to be great as an eye-shadow base or just for a quick everyday look. They last a long time as a little goes a long way and are available in some beautiful shimmery shades and also matte shades. My faves are inked in pink and bad to the bronze! I often wear bad to the bronze blended out of the lid all by itself if I am in a hurry but want a nice shade on my eyes. They wear really well and help any shade added over-top to last longer and look more vibrant. A definite must have for me and highly recommended to all. If they bring out more shades I will be getting them asap. The fact that I have 21 of these probably says enough!

I always used the MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study as my eyeshadow base religiously....that is until I tried the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Barely Branded. Not only is it sooo much cheaper; it goes on smoother. The pigmentation is great and it keeps my eyeshadow crease free all day. What more could you want?! Definitely my new HG. I plan to collect them all : )

This little pot of amazingness has saved me on mornings I am running late! I have the colour 'bad to the bronze' and it is the best for creating a quick eye look. I apply my MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study all over my eyelid and then apply this over the top and smudge it out with my fingers. It lasts all day, doesn't crease and the colour pay off is amazing. I use mine all the time and it has barely gone down. I think it will dry out before it runs out.

I love how affordable these are and I will look at the more neutral ones to use as eye shadow bases too.

Can't recommend highly enough.

Love this stuff! I tend to use it as a primer underneath the usual eyeshadow powders. It takes a bit of getting used to due to the texture, but the best way to apply is just to use your finger and smudge it over the lid and into the crease!

I was a little sceptical about these, I bought 2 x shades, the pink and taupe. But I am really happy with both! They are very pigmented, easy to apply with either fingers or brush and they do actually last the distance whether day or night. I use these as a base overtop of my eye primer and I love how good these are! I often wear these as a day work look and I use concealer/eye primer first and then apply the colour tattoo on top. Then I add a eyeshadow if I want. At the end of the day, the colour is just as pigmented as if I've just applied this! No fading, streaking at all. Just love it. Highly recommend as a cheaper option as some other brands. Give this a go! :)

In love :) they are perfect, They Have a good range of colours to choose from and are easy to apply. Super pigmented and smooth and stay on for aggggeeees !. Use as a base for eye shadow or go all out and wear them on there own ! highly recommend :)

I was skeptical getting these at first as I don't tend to use creme eye shadows that often, but I was told they were similar to another product I love and at less than half the price so decided to give them a go, and I am so so glad I did! Highly pigmented, awesome staying power and I don't have the crease issues which keeps me away from most cremes.

Would definitely recommend to anyone!

This product was everything I hoped for and more! I currently own three; Back to Bronze, Barely Branded and Tough As Taupe.

These eyeshadows are extremely pigmented and, sticks to what it claims, last forever! I must admit in the shimmer eyeshadows, it wears to more of a matte as time progresses but boy, it really is 'Tough As Taupe' to get off! I have literally swatched it on my hand before going to bed and it has not moved a bit when I wake up in the morning!

What an amazing product!
